Arduino core API comparison

The tool contained in this repository generates a comparison of the API exposed by some of the most popular cores for Arduino, with the following goals in mind:

• assess feature parity and interoperability
• identify the best API that anyone can use to make sure their Arduino code is truly portable across different architectures
• help (and encourage) maintainers of Arduino cores to collaborate on making their implementations more interoperable

Available reports:

• Core API - Interoperability Report
• WiFi API - Interoperability Report

Getting started

To regenerate the comparison yourself, follow these steps:

1. Install arduino-cli.

2. Install Doxygen with your preferred package manager:

   apt-get install doxygen
   

3. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/alranel/arduino-api-compare
   cd arduino-api-compare
   

4. Clone the cpp-api-compare tool inside this directory and compile it:

   git clone https://github.com/alranel/cpp-api-compare
   cd cpp-api-compare
   go build
   cd ..
   

5. Run this tool:

   ./arduino-api-compare.sh
   

   The reports in Markdown format will be created in the current directory.
